Winter Care OF Manure.
praIrin Earn,nr

Winter is the season for making barn.
yard manure. It's value depends much on
the kind Of food eaten by the animals.
Cattle given, as many are, little besides
straw at the stack and corn fodder in the
field, make manure OF comparatively low
value. Animals fed grain rich in nitro
gen, phosphoruns, potash, setc, such as
bran, oilmeal, oats and similar foods, pro-
duce manure Of high value. Poultry, hogs
and horses make more valuable manure, as
a rule, than cattle, because their rations
are richer IN those elements most valued
for fertilizing purposes. With superior
stock, better feeding and care there must
come improved methods OF saving
manure. The Western method OF feeding
on a side hill, near a stream, where the
summer rains can clean of the lot tor the
next winters feeding, must be changed so
everything can be saved until summer, or
taken to the fields as fast as made. Keep

enough moisture in the mass to prevent its
fire fanging.n Rains and melting SHOWS
usually supply the moisture, but IL is often
advisable to be able to add more water

the feed yard.
The arrangement OF barns sheds and
yards has much 10 do with the economi-
cal handling OF manure. Where practi-
cable il pays to have barns built so the
manure from all classes OF animals can be
dumped together in the manure wagon to
be hauled TO the field as fast as load ac-
cumulates, or collected in a common pile
where II can ferment togethsr. Into this
pile all waste hay, straw or other fodder
should be thrown. Small yards are prefer
able 10 large ones where manure Is valued
highly, as 1t is much less scattered aud
more easily collected when the snow aud
ice are thawing out in spring. II some
spoiled straw or other rough material is
scattered over the yard in the fail aud
winter 1t aids greatly in taking the manure
up Just as the tnaWing has reached the
ground in March or April, and before Ii
has been mixed with mud by the tramp
ing OF animals. More manure can be
saved from cattle where they are fed in
stalls or under sheds. Dehorning adds 10
the value of the animal manure crop be
cause cattle can be Kept in a smaller space
and the manure is less wasted by Dein

preached Blcnnerhassett's Isle, and its mistress
offered him the hospitality of her home He
spent night at the island, and after his de-
pnrture exchanged some letters with BlCnner-
hassett, in which he outlined his plan for es-
tablishing colony or government in the South
west. Burr again visited the island this time
accompanied by his daughter, the wife of Gov
ernor Aston, of South Carolina. Aston soon
joined the party, and plans for colony 10 be
established in what was vaguely called the
Louisiana Company were formulated.
Burr inspired the Blenncrhassetts with SUI
prcme confidence in himself and his tine ad-
dress, coupled with his recent high Official po-
siton-Vice President of the Uuited States
caused them TO lend credulous ear to his
words, and to agree to leave their island home
to seek new one in the South, where he doubt
less said great riches awaited them.
Burr left the island with Mr.. and Mrs. Aston,
in September, 1906, for Lexington, Ky, says
Mrs, Alderman in her convenient condensation
OF the history OF the interesting case Rumors
were soon afioat of conspiracy against the
United States, organized by Burr. II was said
that he was in Il deep plot against his own Gov
ernment, and that he was in league with for
eign powers to secure the breaking OF certain
treaties.
Burr was arrested twice He was held in
custody but a short time on the occasion of his
first arrest, but after his second apprehension
he was tried for treason and nothing proven
against him.
After his first arrest, Burr made rapid trip
to Marietta. He arranged for the construction
of number of boats, that were TO convey Blen-
nerhassett and his family, together with all
others whom they could induce TO Join the cXpe
dition, TO the South
Burr left Blennerhassett to superintend the
building of the boats and to arrange for paying
the bills.
There We're still rumors atioat that great
conspiracy was being concocted. Government
detectives were sent out. One of them went TO
the island and begged Blennerhassett TO sever
his connection with Burr, but his appeals were
in vain. The victim was thoroughly fascinated
by the brilliant slayer OF Hamilton and the allur
ing Inducements that were held out TO him.
But he saw that trouble might be expected.
He loft his home one harsh December night
with the boats and men who were to accompany
him.
Mrs. Blennerhassett was to follow in the
boats from Marietta Immediately When she
reached her island she found her home in ruins
and the island desolate waste. Governor Tiff
fms soldiers had been there, and without war
rant or reason savagely destroyed the beautiful
mansion and improvements that the B!enner-
hassetts had made on their island.
She was allowed to depart, and after many
days of anxiety joined her husband near

This courthouse was built in 179S, but was not
completed till the following year. Grincn Green
was the architect.
The Jail portion OF the building occupied the
rear 1t was made of hewn yellow poplar logs,
eighteen inches square, laid double, so that the
walls were three feet in thickness. They were
placed TO break joints like stone.work, and were
fastened together with iron bolts. The tloors
sides and ceiling were built in this same sub
stnntial way with doors and iron gratings of
proportiunato thickness. AS late us 1912 1t was
consindcrcd one of the strongest prisons in the
State and it is said that no prisoner ever cut
his way out of It.
The first building was n frame one of two
storics being forty-tve feet in length and thirty
nine feet in width. The lower story, in front,
was divided INTO two rooms with passage be-
tween them, leading to the Jail in the back OF
the building. The upper story, in front, was
occupied by the court room, and was lighted by
several windows and heated by two tircplaces

1t is said that upwards of fifty thousand dol

island home and its surroundings. The unique
and splendid beauty OF the spot was heraldcd

Antiquity of the Art Preservative in the
Celestial Empire.
Ofcourse the Chinese were ahead Of
Europe. Their chronicles record print
ing upon silk or cotton in the century
before Christ, paper being attributed
to the first century after Christ. 1t is
certain that many hundred years ago
they had begun to put writing on trans
fer paper, lay the face downward on
wood or stone, rub off the impression
or paste on the transparent paper, cut
away the wood or stone, and take an
impression in ink which duplicated the
original. First, probably, they cut the
letters into the block, leaving white
letters on black ground, which method,
Didot thinks, was known to the Ro-
mans and was the process referred TO
by Pliny; aftcrward they cut away the
block, leaving the letters raised, to
print black on white. The last process
is attributed to Foong-Taou, Chinese
Minister of State in the tenth century,
who was driven to the invention by
the necessity of getting exact copies
of his official documents. Indeed,
there is detailed tradition of Chinese
Gutenberg, one Pitching, who in 1041
carved cubes of porcelain paste with
Chinese characters, afterward baking
them, and literally setting" the por-
celain types by help of parallel wires
on plate of iron in bed of heated
resinous cement. These types he ham,
mcred or plancd even, and pressed
close together, so that when the cement
hardened they were practically solid

again by melting the cement. But Pi-
